19th C graffiti on the Cow and Calf rocks. It was recorded in the mid 19th C that both the Cow and the Calf rocks bore cup and groove markings. Now presumably lost under the onslaught of graffiti and the wear of visitor’s feet.
Nearby was once a Bull rock, which was quarried away in the 1850’s. It is probably safe to assume that this rock once bore prehistoric carvings too.

The Hangingstones outcrop. The area under the over-hang is known as the Fairie’s Parlour, or sometimes as the Fairie’s Kirk. Legend has it that the Anglo-Saxon’s attempted to build a church nearby, but each morning returned to find the stones moved. They eventually built the church in Ilkley.
The name Fairie’s Kirk could be a folk memory of the original uses of the rock and it’s carvings.

Willy Halls Wood from the bottom of White Wells. Streams flow around both sides of the mound which is topped by the Willy Halls Wood Stone. Both join to merge at Willy Halls Spout at the bottom of the mound, then flow on down to the river Wharfe. A very powerful spot indeed.

This is a strange little spot on the top of Woofa Bank above the enclosure. A rock possibly bearing both natural and designed cup marks (or possibly cup marks that have weathered in). There seemed to be a bit of a small enclosure built around the back of the stone, but not sure if this is a natural jumble of rocks or intended.
